Main Interventions > Curriculum GuidanceCurriculum GuidanceThe outline curriculum of teaching and learning points includes several sections. At each grade: Teaching Points and Learning Outcomes:The teaching pints and learning outcomes include the following topics:
Taken together, these topics are intended to promote and encourage the development of young people's autonomy; their realisation of their interdependence; and their ability to live and act alongside others. The 'curriculum' represented here is intended to be educational and developmental. Teaching Points:The teaching will include coverage of three aspects of leaning: 1. KnowledgeThis aspect of learning is about facts and information, things that young people know. It can be defined or described in such language as:
2. SkillsThis aspect of learning is about abilities and competences, things that young people can do. It can be defined or described in such language as:
